Upgrading your home’s energy efficiency is worthwhile! As energy prices continue to rise, changing your home’s heating method is a timely consideration. Heating with wood provides security, improves living comfort, and significantly reduces your energy bill.
Purchasing a heat-retaining fireplace is a sensible decision. Prefabricated homes are now almost without exception equipped with a heat-retaining fireplace. When renovating an older home, choosing a heat-retaining fireplace is one of the most important decisions if you want to favor domestic bioenergy.
Expert assistance
If needed, an Uunisepät fireplace expert will make a home visit to determine the fireplace location, clearance distances, and any required foundation or foundation reinforcement. They will clarify matters related to the chimney and firewall, help calculate the household tax credit, and advise you on all permit-related matters.
If the building has a designated fireplace location and the fireplace is installed in the original location intended for it, there is no need to consider the foundation. The load-bearing capacity of the structure must be determined in older homes with an intermediate floor structure.
A new fireplace in just a few days!
A beautiful new fireplace can replace an old, well-serving one in just a few days, whether it is a heritage home or a newer residence. The Uunisepät collection offers an appealing option for a manor, house, or cabin alike. A fireplace can also be installed in a property without an existing flue. Uunisepät’s comprehensive service covers the entire package, from the foundation to the chimney and rain cap. Skilled Uunisepät installers carefully protect the floors and walls and, if necessary, remove the old fireplace. After installation, the work area is cleaned up and the new fireplace is handed over to the customer ready to light.
“Restoring an old heritage home into a functional residence was a major undertaking. We wanted to preserve the home’s ‘spirit’ and coziness, but we were not willing to compromise on comfort. Thorough planning began, and it took time. During that time, we became familiar with permit applications, traditional construction, old and new materials, working methods, a wide range of professionals, and numerous heating options.
Now it is complete. Our own Villa. I am often the first to wake up in the morning and sneak downstairs. I walk through the downstairs rooms and look out the window at the path in the yard. I enjoy the ambiance. I pause for a moment to lean against the tiled stove in the living room, which is still pleasantly radiating heat in the morning. It feels good to be here.”
